Celebrating Twenty Years of the Brunswick Outdoor Arts Festival

The Brunswick Downtown Association (BDA) proudly presented its 20th Annual Brunswick Outdoor Arts Festival on Saturday, August 15th along Maine Street and the Town Mall in Brunswick, Maine. Since 2006, this juried fine arts show has showcased a diverse array of fine art, featuring recognized artists as well as emerging creators working across a range of mediums, including photography, painting, mixed media, jewelry, fiber, and ceramics.
